Porta Palatina

It was the gateway to the Roman city from the north. In Piazza Cesare Augusto stands the most famous monument from Augusta Taurinum, the city founded by the romans in 28 BC.

The medieval name (Portae Palatii) of this former "main left gate" now identifies the part of the town that stands adjacent to the monument.
